The Clean Collection – Desktop and Mobile
The Clean Collection was made to do exactly what it says on the box.
It’s a preset collection for folk who don’t love presets – those who are yearning for a no-fuss, less is more, speedy edit that keeps imagery true to colour, yet provides the much-desired pop, spit and polish to take photographs from humble snaps to an outstanding professional standard.
The Clean Collection is suited to:
Studio Photographers
Product Photographers
Family and Newborn Photographers
Those who don’t love presets, or who need a preset in their back pocket for those extra tricky edits.
The Clean Collection contains 1 timeless black & white, and 3 true to-life colour presets, plus 18 add-ons, designed to make editing extra easy and breezy. For indoor and outdoor use.
clean – black & white
This conversion is classy, classic, and timelessly understated. It boasts soft skin tones, true blacks, and crisp whites, and is designed to be a one-click wonder – adjust exposure, and off you go.
clean
Clean is our preset in its purest form. This one’s for the editing purists among us, who hope for pop, but exactly zero fussing with the colours. Think of ‘clean’ as being like your best version of a well-made JPEG, on steroids. Then times it by 10.
clean I
This guy builds on his aforementioned brother, but brings some oh so subtle somethin’ to the tones – all while abiding by the pledge of nothing but *clean* for this collection (for some images, you probably won’t even be able to tell the difference between these two edits!)
clean II
Our final friend comes with ever so slightly pinker undertones, compared to the other clean presets. It’s the one I’d recommend you use for outdoor work, or when shooting in rather bright spaces, as the things it does to skin tones in these settings are rather lovely.
… then there are the add-ons (it’s like an a la carte menu but for editing!)
disable lens correction use this if you enjoy the in-camera vignette your lens creates. It will remove the lens correction that’s built into the presets.
add/remove grain the clean presets don’t have any grain in-built, but you can add it and remove it at a whim, using these one-click presets.
noise reduction for images that were made in low light, and need a little help.
add whites to speed up the editing process, I’ve made this a one-click for you.
adjust greens (there are 3 of these, depending on your taste!)
lift shadows this does exactly what it promises – lifts those pesky shadows!
light pop this one helps the lighter areas in your image to pop.
reduce blues use this if you notice blues in your shadows/whites.
deepen for added depth – there are two levels of this guy, depending on how much pop you need.
soften for overall softening. There are two levels of these, too.
enhance whites if there are a lot of whites in your image, and you want them to really sing.
If you take photographs of humans often, I’d highly recommend you also choose the brushes for Lightroom, as there is a brush in there to help with every possible skin issue. I use the glow brushes for EVERYONE – not just my delicious freshies! : )
IMPORTANT: THE CLEAN COLLECTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN XMP FORMAT. THERE ARE NO LRTEMPLATE VERSIONS OF THESE PRESETS. PLEASE CONFIRM WHICH FILE TYPE IS ACCEPTED BY YOUR VERSION OF LIGHTROOM BEFORE PURCHASING (if you use a super old version of Lightroom you may need to upgrade).
These presets are compatible with Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.
A mobile-friendly version of the presets is also included in this purchase – just a little way to say I love you! You’ll find the instructions bundled in with the rest of your goodies! Desktop access is not required to access the mobile-compatible presets, so if you’re currently a mobile-only user, just follow the directions to get started right away!
